          Fully agree with @domubpkm I like the LED notification, that's also why I didn't like iPhone...

            Thanks for the feedback re. the notification LED - I'll take it back to TL and argue that its a desired feature. Software-wise, do notification LEDs work on Ubuntu Touch?

                Thanks. Practically INDISPENSABLE for a good/full use of Ubuntu Touch.

                            @AlainW94 Its a SanDisk flash adapter - it adapts the flash for photo needs 😉

                              Will the Pinephone be compatible with NexDock 2?

                                @klowe Hard to tell since neither device is available, but probably yes. We actually considered something very similar ourselves in the future ...

                                  NexDock 2 and Ubuntu Touch

                                  Will NexDock 2 work with a Nexus 5 running Ubuntu Touch?

                                  As I understand it, NexDock 2 does not have present the kb/mouse over Bluetooth, so you would only be able to use it as a monitor for Nexus 4/5.

                                  Will NexDock 2 work with the new Pinephone running Ubuntu Touch?

                                  It will not work over the USB-C as the Pinephone as I understand will not have SlimPort (DisplayPort alt mode), but straight HDMI. You would need an adapter to split the video out to the HDMI port on the NexDock 2, and use the USB-C for the kb/touchpad and charging connection.

                                  Are the above statements correct?

                                    Yes, above statements seem correct. The only way to provide data and display over one cable to Nexdock is displayport over USB-C, and it seems like Pinephone does not support this feature.

                                      @PINE64 "We actually considered something very similar ourselves in the future ..." Hopefully, the Pine64 LapDock will be similar to NexDock 2 with an optional touch screen.

                                        @klowe We'll see in the future. Right now we're pretty focused on getting the PinePhone right. What I will say is - it seems to me that a similar docking station is doable. Would be cool if it would be possibl to slide the phone inside the case (perhaps a modified Pinebook case?), effectively turning it into a laptop. Feel free to brainstorm the idea, but perhaps its best to do in a different thread ... or on the PINE64 forum.

                                          @PINE64 idk if someone else already asked those question:
                                          is there a plan for an IR LED in the PinePhone?
                                          what about spare parts for the PinePhone? I think mostly about the screen (LCD and touchscreen) and the battery, will Pine64 sell them?
                                          Thank you for this fantastic project!

                                            @mymike Very good question. Sorry for the late response - I am traveling. I'll need to find out exactly what will be available (and edit this post) but I am pretty sure that most spare parts, including the LCD, won't be an issue. Batteries are a whole different can of worms sadly ... they are a real pain to ship.
                                            Good that you brought this up - perhaps we should consider using some sort of easily attainable battery. Will get back to you (TL is traveling too ... so... could be a few days).
